He seems to love it, but he's older (about 10 or so) and gives me the stink eye on the regular LOL! He chowed down on supers and greens this morning, so that was reassuring. Hasn't checked out the new excavator hide yet - I used an old food grade container to create it. That way it there is no...

Hey Coop! Yeah, I stayed away after I lost Charlie. But it had been a while since I updated everyone on Carl. He's been doing so well :) I was worried for a bit as he got dehydrated but the SPCA covered blood work and a check up for him and then transferred him officially to me! So he's mine...

Hey guys - I know, it's been a long time! I finally managed to get Carl a bigger enclosure - 180 gallon tank! Excuse the dirty window...my cats like to soak up the sun beside the lights LOL - oh my (note - they have zero interest in Carl, but I do plan on adding screen doors on the top). My...

Carl update - sorry it's been a while all! Carl gave me a scare a few weeks back - he stopped eating, wouldn't drink, etc. BUT Thankfully the NBSPCA covered 1 last vet visit for him - he had fluids and blood work. I'm not sure if it was a kick in the pants for him or what. His blood work was...

Thank you everyone. It's been an exhausting day. I'll never get a store beardie ever again. My beardies are normally rescues, Charlie was the first ever bought from a store...I thought I'd have him so much longer ?

Thank you. I have a vet friend who was helping me. Because he was young and his symptoms, she suggested that he may have had congestive heart failure. It matches his symptoms and explains why nothing I did helped. She offered to do an autopsy for me, but I want to be able to bury him. My heart...

He's gone. I just went to get him up for a bath and he was gone

I'll make that slurry. I made one yesterday, but I didn't think of the honey and oil and probably too much of a mixture. I have been giving him baths, poor guy gets so tired he can barely lift his head. I rub his belly and warm him. I don't think he ate anything. He's a fussy boy and tends to...

So, I'm starting to freak. He's weaker today and still straining. I've given him some water mixed with olive oil. He's straining so hard that he's gaping and I'm now worried about prolapse (which I have experienced but it sucks and I'm not in an area of financial place that can allow me to take...

I'm in NB, Atlantic side. It's Spring, but mother nature thinks it's late winter LOL - oie, we had a snowstorm the other day and today we have a huge rainstorm.

ugh, never thought of the meds causing constipation. Frig...I think I'll stop the pain meds and do what I can to help him otherwise. My poor boy :(

I'm pretty sure it's his foot - he doesn't like me touching it. He was straining and gave up - seemed a bit better this morning, but still won't eat. But he's not as dark! Positive he's male - seminal plugs and all... I'm going to wait a bit then try another bath for him. I want to get him...
